I’ve never really been one for huge monitors. It really didn’t matter to me because I’ve always used multiple monitors so having one single huge one wasn’t a big deal. I had a 19″ LCD primary and a 17″ LCD as a second monitor; this setup has worked out well and never given me any reason to change it.
But for Christmas my parents gave me a $100 visa gift card amongst other things. They normally want to buy me a gift but I’m at an age where I feel weird when they buy me stuff. So every time my mom asked what I wanted I kept telling her nothing. I suppose a gift card is the result of that (they bought me a bunch of other stuff like T-shirts and stuff too… ANYWAYS)
So I got this free money and I’m browsing around Newegg and stumble on a deal for a monitor. 22″ widescreen and they’re gonna ship it to me for free! Did some research, compared with other monitors, yadda yadda… bam, ordered that shit! I ordered it on Sunday, it was processed on Monday… and it arrived today. THAT’S SOME SWEET ASS FREE SHIPPING!
I have it all setup and working and let me tell you… ohh baby. I love widescreen now! HOLY JEEBUS I HAVE SEEN THE LIGHT!

I like to consider myself open to a lot of different types of music. The only ones I really don’t care for are Country music and Oldies bubble gum pop shit. Anyways… I’ve never been a big fan of The Killers. I didn’t hate them, I liked a few of their songs because of their catchy tunes.
Lately this song has really been stuck on me. But to my defense, the song is very electronica… which is one of my favorite areas of music.

There’s been a lot of discussion about the Left 4 Aidan post… let me just clarify some things here:
My son knows the difference between good words and bad words… he corrects me when he hears me say one of them (which I normally avoid around him).
He also knows that violence isn’t good and that we shouldn’t do it. When my wife gives me a love tap (a soft punch in the arm for saying something she doesn’t like) he tells her to say sorry.
Additionally, Aidan is very aware of the difference between video games and reality. His interaction with people in games and people in real life are polar opposite.
You know how he knows these things? Because he’s AWARE of them and we teach him whats wrong and whats right.
You know what doesn’t teach kids? Making them naive by sheltering them from what you feel is wrong. Everyone will eventually encounter foul words and violence, whether it be in school or on TV. So you go about your business and try to hide your kids from all that you feel is evil and see how much they are shell-shocked when reality finally catches up to them and kicks them in their fucking face.
Anyone trying to come off saying I’m a “bad parent” for letting him watch me play is outright stupid. Video games don’t make bad children, the way they are raised makes bad children… example:
I read some comments about his GModigy video and I feel sorry for the people that bothered opening their stupid face. My son is extremely smart. He’s already counting and doing logic way above his age level. He’s also more computer savvy then most of you reading this… and most of the people commenting about how he’s being warped and all that bullshit. I feel sorry for your kids to be honest. If they aren’t spending quality time with you like my son is with me, then you’re just a terrible parent who probably touches their privates in the closet.
I love my children and do everything to raise them right. So get off your high horse.
I found a holy Quran app for my phone and downloaded it so I could post in the comments "God bless u for this app" then uninstalled itabout 2 days agofrom Ping.fm
